People loves comparing swords from various places around the world, assessing each ones value for their bluntness and artistry.  When it comes to this then, there’s no denying that Japan’s katana is finest sword ever created. It spells class and incredibly as sharp as well, a formidable weapon of awesome craftsmanship and style. But, this does not really imply that all the other swords can’t meet up to its standard or exceed it. The users of the Japanese katana must have never encountered warriors of the likes of a European knight in full armor. It’s perhaps very impossible for a katana to break in the plate or a standard chain mail, more likely not during the first strike. It’s a sharp edge to be certain, but it’s just that, a sharp blade. Knight swords, in contrast, are not only made to be sharp, they’re sufficiently sharp. They were created with the intention to hammer. And to receive a blow by their baseball bats could prove fatal indeed, it could topple your strength, pull the carpet out of your feet and smash every bones in your body that receives the hit. European long-sword like the Functional Medieval Battle Sword was intended for a fight, to fend off many strikes from the enemy before losing its sharpness or break, and to knock hard into his armor with every chance you get. Fighting against a huge man clothed in complete armor demands something other than a beautiful razor blade; you have to have something strong to KO him and punch his weak areas. The katana often dueled with unarmored opponents, who are also allowed to carry katana themselves, and one’s slice is what’s often needed. In contrast, the European sword are always encountering every form of enemies ranging from the Middle East to Ireland, people who are most eager for battle.
